With the help of a good friend's lift to the airport, I left slushy morning snow and hints of a coming freeze behind. Blizzards in the midwest threatened delays enroute to San Francisco, sent everyone on board who was heading to Sydney into a 'will we make it?' frenzy, and tested the crew's patience with questions. However, they heartily withstood the test, the flight arrived 5 minutes before the Sydney departure ..and with speakers blaring..."FLIGHT 836'S cabin doors are closing, all Sydney passengers galloped towards gate 97 in the international terminal. There was nothing hard about snoozing to Sydney.
In Christchurch, warm sunshine and a strong northwesterly make winter seem far behind...and the royal welcome of family make time disappear. How lucky we are to share these days together. Last night, we went to the Friday night Robby Burns supper - complete with NZ tasties, Robby Burns recitations, and great conversations.
Will sign off from the New Brighton library, a fabulous modern facility right on the beach...blogs, books and surfers out the window make for a great combo.
Best wishes to you all
